Hospital Ministries
People suffering in the hospital undergo
various phases physically, medically and emotionally. While
the physical pain is bearable, what drives them mad is the
emotional agony. It comes in various shapes and sizes. Depression,
discouragement, fear and uncertainty constantly prevail
in their lives. While some patients have visitors
some do not have any. Thought of no returning to their home
drives them mad. This is the condition where any visitor
to a patient is well invited.
It is to these that we minister. We visit each patient and
pray with them. We encourage them with words of comfort
and give hope. Words like when you will be cured and will
go home? encourage them very much. We give them fruits,
bread and clothes in few cases. We pray for them and assure
them of our continued prayers.
We share the word of god and give them the message of hope
and love.
